NO TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
CHICAGO, November 10,-"What pre-
psrations have you made against pos
sible trouble as the result of to-
morrow's execution Pr asked g reporter
of General FItzsimmons, commander of
the first brigade.
II can outline no Plans" said the
General; lit would not be policy. l
will say, however, that 500 men of the
First regiment and $50 of the Second can
be thrown into the field for action at
very short notice. Seven hundred to
800 men OF the Third and Fourth regi-
ments can be gotten here, fully
equipped for duty, in three hours. 1
do not anticipate trouble, however.
ANY trouble that may occur will be
most effectually met by the police and
attachments Of the First and Second
regiments. ]
DEPREcATE THE NECESSITY FOB SUMMARY
ACTION
of the police or troops" continued the
general, "but if these wretched enemies
of law and order give US cause for &C
ton, there will be no such leniency as
has been extended them in the past"
will your men use blank cartridges,
or fire over the heads of the crowd in
case of a riot and the order to fire is
given 2"
1--WE have no blank cartridges"
said General Fitzsimmons, land will
not fire unless we fire to do execution.
NV conjectures have been made the last
few days regarding what has been is
sued to the United States troops now at
Hollywood"
Accordingly, reporter called this
afternoon on Major-General Terry,
commander of the District of Missouri,
and asked him what arrangements had
been made for transporting troops here,
in case they were wanted.
After the execution, and after the
trouble, should any occur" said the
general. II may be able to talk about
It, but consider it bad policy for an
army officer to
OUTLINE HIS PLANS IN ADVANCE"
General Terry thought the militia
here would be amply able to take care
of any disturbance, together with the
police. He considered them a remark
ably fine and efficient body of men.
The noon issue of the Arbciter Zeit,lrg
contained short account of Lingg's
attempted suicide, which read: They
have
URGED OUR COURAGEOUS FRIEND TO DEATH
this morning. He committed suicide
by placing a rife cartridge in his mouth
and igniting it, almost resulting in in
slant death" The account goes on to
say that his friends declare that he was
driven by desperation to commit the
deed.
When the news of the Communication
of sentence of Fielden and Schwsb was
received at the Jail, there was an
extraordinary
SCENE OF ACTIVITY.
The news was sent to the relatives
of all the condemned men, and in a |
short time they began to arrive at the
jail. The first of the women to come |
was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab |
was brought from his cell to the main |
Office. His wife quickly advanced to
him, and throwing her arms about his
neck burst into tears. Schwsb returned
her embrace in a calm manner and soon
the two were chatting quietly together.
After this, Spies and Fischer were
brought from their cells and taken to
the Jail library. Engel was brought to
the private office of Mr.. Foltz. This |
was done for the purpose of allowing |
relatives to take their last interview.
The first of the women after Mrs. |
Schwab, was Miss Engel, the daughter |
of the condemned Anarchist. who met |
him in the private Office. There was an |
oUTBURsT OF GRIEF
which it is impossible to describe. The
father and daughter chung to each
other AID sobbed convulsively. Their
conversation was in German and
listened to only by Deputy Oleson.
Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother of
August. She had been waiting outside |
for an hour and half. Her sobs could
be heard through the corridor of the
building. She did not stay long in the
library With her son, and on her exit
